4th of July is one of my favorite holidays and Patriotic decor is my absolute favorite! I love when summer hits and it is time for swimming, BBQs, parades, fireworks, etc! I love it all! My birthday is also in July and it’s an all-around great month! This year I wanted to decorate a bit inside for this awesome holiday to show my patriotism! Today, I’m going to show you how to make this Patriotic DIY Wall Art I created for the summer holidays.
How to Make a Patriotic DIY Wall Art
Step-by-step Instructions
- Make the shape.
Draw out on a piece of plywood the USA or your home state! You can use an outline or just free hand it but once it is cut, sand it down.
- Add the D-rings.
Place these rings on the back so that once it is finished you are able to hang it up anywhere.
- Start painting.
Paint your design! I did the USA a cobalt blue paint color to go with the patriotic theme.
- Add lettering.
Lastly, add the gold vinyl lettering and say whatever you want! We wrote “Sweet Land of Liberty” and we get so make compliments!
Materials:
- Plywood
- Jigsaw
- Sandpaper
- 2 – D-rings
- Paint or stain
- Vinyl decal – optional
First, draw the shape of the USA (or even your home state!) on a piece of plywood. We did this by “eyeballing” it but you can use a template of some sort if you choose. Then, use your sandpaper to smooth any rough edges.
Next, flip your wooden shape over and add the D-ring so you can hang it when you’re done.
Paint or stain your USA! I chose a dark navy blue. It looks more cobalt in this picture while the paint was still not quite dry and it was out in the bright sun. I also used a small brush and painted the lip around the outside metallic gold.
Last, I added gold vinyl lettering that reads “Sweet Land of Liberty”. I love the phrase over the entire USA. I used gold vinyl and the font is Lavenderia. If anyone is interested, you can purchase the vinyl decal I used in my vinyl shop here.
I hung it up in my Gold Gallery Wall for the summer. The next step in decorating for summer is to do a Summer/Patriotic chalk art on my chalkboard and make some cute printables for some of the frames. It’s gonna be awesome! 😉 Maybe I need some cute USA pillows on my couch too!
Do you decorate for Summer? I like doing Patriotic decor because it works for Memorial Day, 4th of July and through Labor Day!
